NYC Best Weekday Bets

We’re back for a new round of NYC Best Weekday Bets! Each day will feature a top pick in the areas of 1. fitness (active), 2. comedy, 3. culture, 4. film, 5. food + drink, 6. free, 7. music and 8. staying in (because let’s face it, sometimes you just want to not leave your couch). Get ready for lots o’ 4th of July stuff, like hot dog eating contests and Independence Day screenings (our GIF theme) // details as follows:

Monday, July 2

COMEDY: It’s a new round of Battle of the Divas at Union Hall, and tonight’s contenders are Fergie and Gwen Stefani! Lineup features Matteo Lane, Mo Fry Pasic and more, and tickets are just $8-$10 each.

CULTURE: Head to Videology for a new edition of Ladies w/ Lenses ($10), and stick around for a screening of Jean-Luc Godard’s Weekend ($12)!

FILM: I can think of nothing more patriotic than to watch Independence Day on loop at Videology, which will be happening on all four of their screens starting at noon sharp.

FOOD + DRINK: Lucky Dog is the place to be – free hot dogs all day, plus a free beer chugging contest at 4:30pm! (And as always, probably a lot of good dogs!)

FREE: Get out to the Rockaways for a free beach party ft. tunes by Tall Juan and more! Action starts at 1:30pm. (AND it’s The Lot Radio’s annual block party from noon until 11pm ft. all of the tunes and all of the good fireworks viewing.)

MUSIC: Spend your 4th groovin’ out with Nancy Whang at Good Room for $15-$20, or hit up Schimanski for a $35 time w/ Klingande!

STAY IN: You can watch the Hot Dog Eating Contest on ESPN2, the Macy’s fireworks display on NBC, and/or Jaws on AMC for all your stereotypical 4th of July needs!
